My name is Adam and I am a British Sign Language Teacher. I am Deaf and have been using British Sign Language since I was a teenager. My personal experience of Deafness was my primary reason for learning BSL and why I have such a deep passion for this beautiful and expressive language. I have studied BSL to NVQ Level 6 and trained to become a teacher, enabling me to achieve my dream of teaching BSL in my local community. This opportunity has enabled me to work with the local Deaf community, building strong relationships and links. I have taught sign language throughout Cambridge, teaching at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge Regional College, Cambridgeshire Deaf Association and Cottenham Village College. Usually, I teach face to face but due to the COVID pandemic, my classes moved online - this has been a new experience and a great opportunity for me and my learners. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DEAF AWARENESS TRAINING, WINTER 2021 Class starts 4th December 2021 Weekly via Zoom with face to face session Duration: 3 Hours Day & Time: Saturday Mornings, 10.00am - 01.00pm Deaf Awareness Training Full Specification [https://lead-academy.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Deaf-Awareness-Overview-TS-25082021-1.pdf] Venue: Zoom Online Teacher: Adam Landsdell -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO THIS COURSE IS FOR: The course is aimed at anyone who interacts with deaf people, or those with a hearing loss, who wishes to have a deeper understanding of the issues they face and Deaf culture. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PROGRESSION ROUTES: Further courses are available which cover British Sign Language in more depth: * BSL Taster (6 to 12 hours) * Level 1 Award in British Sign Language * BSL at Work (up to 12 hours) **This course is distributed under the Lead Academy licence.** RECOGNISED ACCREDITATION This course is accredited by continuing professional development (CPD).
